Requirement for one lead in any one hole | 3 February, 2007

Multiple leads in a single PTH is prohibited because: * Need to be able to remove and replace any component without impacting another. * Oversized hole required will result in increased solder defects and could also lead to flux entrapment. * Counteracting CTE of leads solder and TH materials. * Counter acting and tangential twist loads caused by the leads.
